Silicene is a two-dimensional allotrope of silicon, with a hexagonal honeycomb structure similar to that of graphene
Contrary to graphene, silicene is not flat, but has a periodically buckled topology; the coupling between layers in silicene is much stronger than in multilayered graphene; and the oxidized form… Read more.
